Nakilala ko siya. At first, hindi ko naisip na makakasama ko siya nang “pang-matagalan”. We started off as a regular couple – until I got pregnant. Having a child became the turning point of our relationship. We realized that this is not just about the two of us dahil mas naging mabigat na ‘yung mga responsibilities.

We started living together. It may be an unplanned pregnancy, but it was something that we never regretted. We were not financially prepared to raise a kid, but I knew then that I was emotionally prepared to start a family. Being in a relationship with him was never easy, lalo pa at hindi siya agad natanggap ng family ko. Despite my family’s ire, I stood by him – for the simple reason that he made me happy.

For more than 6 years, we have stayed together. Like I said, it was never easy, but we managed to get through every obstacle that came our way. We were happy – or so I thought.

He tried – desperately – to explain and to make me believe that it was nothing. Pero nung time na ‘yun, sobrang sakit. I could not stop crying, I could not eat, I could not go to work. So I did the only thing that I thought was reasonable at the time. My daughter and I went home to my parents’ house. We stayed there for a week. During those times, I refused to answer his calls and texts. He tried to win me back, promising that he will never cheat on me again.
